Frank, What lab is this ? It's always good to have or know about another lab around just in case one starts to "suck" :)

Hi, Bill, Well, you see, that's one of the other things that gives me inertia (causes me to be inert? whatever...). The guy who runs the lab I use, Bob, does good work. Several times I've gone in to pick up stuff, and he's told me that he's re-doing several prints, because the first ones were to dark or whatever. Then he gives me the "good" ones and the dark ones. Never an extra charge. Unfortunately, times aren't too good for him right now. He says that digital is really killing his business, and (half jokingly) pleads with me not to go digital. He really doesn't have the money to invest in the latest high-zoot digital printing stuff, given what he could charge for the prints. And, I really like him. We always chat about cameras, film, stereos, whatever. I really do like supporting a small businessman like him. I'd really hate to see someone like him go out of business, but unfortunately, in Toronto, there are so many big pro labs that do b&w, I'm afraid he doesn't have too long left. OTOH, maybe that's a good reason to at least ~learn~ to do it myself, have the equipment, so that when he does go under... Oh well... -frank - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
